Flow Measurement for Sterile and Controlled Production Environments

In pharmaceutical manufacturing, the highest standards apply to sterility, process reliability, and complete documentation. Any contact with the medium poses a potential risk of contamination and can jeopardize product quality. Conventional invasive measurement systems therefore carry the risk of compromising the purity of the product.

The Benefits of Katronic Ultrasonic Flow Meters in the Pharmaceutical Industry

Katronic clamp-on flow meters offer an optimal solution here: They enable completely non-invasive, hygienic flow measurement without opening the pipeline or coming into contact with the medium. This minimizes the risk of contamination, ensures process reliability, and reliably measures even non-conductive liquids—ideal for the demanding conditions in pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Ensuring Maximum Sterility

Since there is no contact between the sensor and the medium, there are no points of microbiological entry. The integrity of the product is fully maintained throughout the entire production process—a crucial advantage for GMP-compliant applications.

Reliable Measurement of Non-Conductive Media

Many pharmaceutical process fluids, such as ultrapure water or alcohol solutions, are non-conductive. Katronic ultrasonic flow meters measure these fluids reliably and accurately, regardless of their electrical conductivity.

High Versatility in Cleanroom Applications

Katronic ultrasonic sensors are equipped with rugged stainless steel transducers, feature high protection ratings, and have been specifically designed for use in cleanrooms and sensitive production areas. They can be flexibly mounted on pipes made of acoustically conductive materials such as stainless steel and various plastics, as well as on flexible hoses, offering maximum versatility in demanding environments.
